Hi Lee, Chances are good you have a great machine. Half of my stationary woodworking machines are babbitt bearings, most of the rest were converted to ball-bearing. Heavy cast iron makes for nice machinery. FineWoodworking had a good article some years ago about pouring babbitts. I'll try to find it for you. I haven't yet needed to repour any babbitts, only reduce shims to tighten them up. Can't imagine your machine casting doesn't have the mfg. name. Not that it matters much. You mention belts and pulleys. Was this a jackshaft driven machine? I recently arranged for a friend to buy one here. My 24" planer is early 50's and weighs 4500 lbs, ball-bearings. The great part about pouring babbitts is if you screw it up, no problem. Just do it again. You won't hurt anything. I guess you know that fire might have affected the knives. I'll get back to you. Can scan the article if you'd like.
